Chronicle is a found footage sci-fi movie that...follows three teenagers who make an unearthly discovery that gives them superhuman powers....While the plot is very interesting, Chronicle spends a bit too much time following the three friends as they use their power for childish pranks and games. The film would have benefited from a further exploration of the depths and reach of their powers. Despite this slight imbalance, Chronicle is a highly entertaining film that will appeal to a much wider audience than the typical films in the found footage genre.
Overall Score: 8.3 / 10 [Read the full review]

It starts of kind of okay with the three friends finding this glowing alien thing wh…

I am partial to found footage style of shooting, so I understand if that's not for you.
Dane DeHaan does a lot of the heavy lifting in this movie, but Michael B. Jordan is right behind him, alongside Alex Russell. It is almost literally just these 3 guys filming each other as they gain, experiment, and grow their supernatural abilities. There are some supporting cast, but they're more ther…
